Fabric Scrap Cloud with Raindrops Mobile

This fabric scrap mobile was a fun way to use some of my old t-shirts and cotton yarn. 

I was inspired by this awesome paper cloud mobile I came across on Pinterest.

I used a straw wreath as the base of the wreath. I then tied strips of fabric from old t-shirts around it. I used small squares of t-shirt fabric, cotton yarn and some woven fabric to complete the cloud.

The cut two pieces of felt for the raindrops. I stuffed them slightly with quilt batting and sewed them together with a running stitch using embroidery thread.

Yarn Christmas Trees with Handmade Stars

For these yarn trees, I followed the tutorial from Pretty-Ditty: http://pretty-ditty.blogspot.com/2009/12/yarn-christmas-trees-tutorial.html.

Once I made the stars, I sprayed them with spray adhesive and dipped them in glitter. I then sprayed them with glitter spray. Modge Podge would also work to make the glitter stick to the stars.

Instead of using a bird nest on top of one of the trees, I found a figurine at Jo-Anne's which I thought matched nicely.

I decorated the trees with small styrofoam balls that are usually sold on circular vines at Jo-Anne's.

This project is a great way to use up some of your scrap yarn. I used a three small balls of yarn leftover from other projects.
